I had a similar experience in middle school (many “thank you come again” comments), but the conclusion I’ve drawn was that it was due to Apu being the only Indian-American character middle schoolers saw on TV at the time. If there were othe

I said this elsewhere in this thread, and I’ll say it again here: what you’re describing is Redfin. They’ve been originating loans for a couple years now, and creating that efficient vertical integration.

Redfin is that disruption you’re describing, not Compass. Having worked with both, Compass tries to come off as more “premium” than “economical.”

The author uses both 7% and 11% as average expected returns to illustrate different points. Unbelievable inconsistency.

Anecdotal, but I’ve worked with dozens of PhD data scientists, and not one of them had a CS PhD. The most common one I see is physics, followed by math. (And I don’t work in a physics-related field.)

I'd add in Postman into that workflow, especially if there's headers you need to know about which are non-obvious in the xhr url. From the network tab of your browser's debugger, copy the network request as cURL, paste the cU

Oh man I had the exact same experience about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get “hello world” to work despite doing everything the tutorial said. Disheartened me from trying any more programming for several years.

The citation is also a hotly written article from 2008. A more objective explanation from recent years would cite a bit of all of it.

Humans by default make assumptions to error-correct. Computers don’t do that by default, but you could get bash (for example) to also make assumptions with a setting like: set completion-ignore-case On Personally, I’d prefer an obtuse compu

I personally don’t think there’s a floor, all that matters is spread over treasuries. If we go with your 2% number, that’s the spread between the mortgage risk and the risk-free rate. If risk-free goes to -1%, then it’d make sense for mortg

It will, but not just yet. There’s too many people trying to refi right now and supply can’t keep up with demand, so rates are higher than they should be. Give it another 3-6 months and I wouldn’t be surprised if mortgage rates fell by anot

What I meant to say is, Fannie and Freddie no longer purchase subprime mortgages (not since the crisis). You’re citing numbers from 11 years ago, and the structure of the market has changed considerably since then. Subprime specifically ref

Alternative documentation tends to be for borrowers that don't have good verification of income (like tax returns or paystubs). Often self-employed borrowers, or borrowers with large amounts of assets but little income.

Fannie and Freddie do not buy subprime loans, subprime stays in the private market. If Fannie and Freddie didn't exist, prime rates would be closer to subprime rates since it's effectively those prime rates that are being subsidiz

Community might have, but industry hasn't. You're right, the dust has settled. If you haven't migrated to Python 3 yet, you likely never will. All the reasons to use 2 or 3 have already been established. I doubt there will be
